And Warners has a real quandary right now, because Ryan Coogler's Sinners made them $336 million worldwide. One Battle won't even come close

So are they going to invest all their money into a movie where most of the talent will do minimal interviews and gladhanding when it comes to the crucial Oscar period between Jan and Feb? I bet Coogler and Jordan will be out there on every talk show and appearing before every single guild. PTA doesn't even like bringing his movie to festivals.

Saw One Battle this afternoon. Wow. Now I understand the hype. Utterly compelling. Tension just mounts and mounts. Loved it . goodvibe61 Sep 27, 17:08

oscars are complete bull**** but they may as well rename the best director award this year to the PTA award Moviesnob Sep 27, 21:09

I love Sinners. If I was voting for director; I'd probably vote for PTA. Several things about it are truly masterful. {nm} goodvibe61 Sep 28, 00:19

And yet, there must be a reason why PTA hasn't won an Oscar...I think he wins for screenplay over director. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 28, 07:12

More reason that he's "due to win". {nm} Antibody Sep 28, 07:41

No one is "due"...Christopher Nolan finally won because he made a great movie that appealed to all branches of the Academy TheWeekendWarrior Sep 28, 07:51

One Battle After Another hits at the right political moment. Some voters will see SINER just as a horror film. {nm} Antibody Sep 28, 08:02

Oscars are not voted in a vacuum. Emotions, timing and past history factor into it as much as "merit" which is completely subjective. {nm} Antibody Sep 28, 07:57

And they don't vote until January. You have no way of telling what percentage of the Academy are liberal Americans. TheWeekendWarrior Sep 28, 08:12

Gleiberman "think a solid segment of the audience for this movie is going to come from the right. " Antibody Sep 28, 08:27

It's definitely possible. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 28, 09:10
